There is something going on that is effecting WordPress sites, though. All of my WordPress sites were down a couple days ago. My host fixed it but they didn’t say what the issue was.

I’ve seen this on other WordPress sites over the last couple days. For example, Matt’s site seems to be having similar problems at the time of this writing. In Safari, I see an error like this: Safari can’t open the page “http://photomatt.net/”. The error was: “lost network connection” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1005). FireFox just shows a blank page.

From the command line, I see: $ curl -v http://photomatt.net/
* About to connect() to photomatt.net port 80
* Trying 72.36.230.250… * connected
* Connected to photomatt.net (72.36.230.250) port 80
> GET / HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: curl/7.13.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin8.0) libcurl/7.13.1 OpenSSL/0.9.7g zlib/1.2.3
Host: photomatt.net
Pragma: no-cache
Accept: */*
* Empty reply from server
* Connection #0 to host photomatt.net left intact
curl: (52) Empty reply from server

When my sites were down, I could get to any of my static pages, but anything WordPress gave errors like those above.

Any idea what’s going on?
